The AIB Start-up Academy, an intensive eight week training course run by Irish Times Training, began on Monday, January 26, featuring all 11 finalists.
Welcomed by Kevin O’ Sullivan (The Irish Times editor) and Ken Burke (Head of Business Banking at AIB), our finalists enjoyed talks from business coach, Sean Weafer - a networking masterclass, and Dr Johnny Ryan (executive director of The UCD Innovation Academy) who spoke of a different kind of business model: the Lean Business Canvass (LBC).
The next module is Monday, February 2, which will cover design thinking. Guest speaker, Bobby Kerr (Insomnia Coffee Company), will also present to our 11 finalists.
